‘At last a proper partner for Duke Bluebeard!’ That's how Hungarian composer Peter Eötvös described his one-acter Senza Sangue. In his tenth opera to text of Alessandro Baricco, Eötvös once again reveals himself to be a master of psychological drama. Afterwards he leads the Brussels Philharmonic through the blood-curdling score of Bartók's opera. Two explosive works that plumb the dark depths of tormented souls. For those who aren’t afraid of more questions than answers!
